Sussman & Simcox Firm Overview

From an attorney’s perspective, it doesn’t much matter whether a person’s case involves a car accident, a slip and fall, or complex product liability issues — understanding the situation from both the plaintiff’s AND the defendant’s view is certain to do one thing no matter which side you’re fighting for:

Improve your chances for success.

At Sussman & Simcox, we’ve spend a number of years defending many of the major insurance companies in Maryland. We know first hand how they will evaluate and challenge your injury case. We use that experience to work toward the best possible result in every case. That said, we also understand that the last thing an injured person or grieving family needs is to be given a false impression of what those chances for success really are. We don’t engage in those kinds of shenanigans. We’ll give you a fair and honest assessment of your case early on and let you make the decisions that follow.

Our Practice

We represent Maryland residents who have been injured here and elsewhere and people who have been injured while visiting or traveling through our state. Our practice is focused solely on cases of personal injury and nothing else — matters that include everything from auto accident injuries and first-party insurance claims to fatal injuries caused by medical malpractice, defective products or airplane accidents.

Our Attorneys

Karen Sussman and Howard Simcox first met and became friends while still in law school nearly 30 years ago. In the years since, they have formed a legal partnership founded on mutual respect and one that has combined their unique skills, insights and complementary styles into a formula for successful results in countless numbers of cases.

Well-respected in the legal community of Maryland and recognized for both their objectivity and trial experience — Ms. Sussman and Mr. Simcox are routinely asked to serve as impartial arbitrators and to issue fair and binding decisions in personal injury cases. For the same reasons, a great number of the accident victims they represent were referred to them by other lawyers in this area.
